      Well, then you've done what Peterson has suggested that you do. You've taken responsibility for your actions and emotions. You've not cleaned your room, which is just a metaphor, anyway. You started jogging. You did something that gives you satisfaction and from there you've put yourself in a position to move on to the next phase of your life. In effect, jogging is your "clean your room" method of changing how you approach life.
      Being emotional isn't a weakness unless it causes you to stagnate into self pity. A beautiful song can move me to tears. A death of someone that I love has done it, as well. That's not a weakness. It's a part of life. It's only a weakness if the tears prevent you from living.

    Damn, that line, “No matter what you do, you’re. All. In. This is gonna kill you” I really love that.
    This video made me fully realize something. Of the point of thinking and trying to figure out all things and trying to come with an understanding of truth. This is why I love this video, it really solidified this thought- that the purpose of finding truth is not in the truth alone, as a mere commodity, but in the utility of truth to live it in the manner which pushes it forth. To literally become one with the truth, or as Jordan said, to become incarnate with it. Mere truth alone with no incarnation is useless. While one may have to enter into periods of isolation in order to understand truth, they, at some point, will have to re-emerge back into the world, in which they hopefully will have shed their old skin and resurrected into a better form of themselves, expressing truth within their very character. For every individual to become a beacon of light, and a guiding source of understanding and wisdom. Truth must be understood, but we do have to undertake the responsibility of our very existence, as mortal creatures, and act it out in the world, maybe in our own miracles.

      I think the proof that people are ultimately willing to sacrifice short-term pleasures for integrity is that humanity still exists. And it's getting better and better, overall we're living in the best society that ever existed by many standards.
      Will the problem of humanity be ever solved? Not if you're an ideolog and by solving the problem you mean reaching some utopia. But I think it's not the kind of problems which is solved once and then it's gone. I think it's the opposite. The problen is always there but it IS solved as long as we exist and improve, and the meta-problem is keeping the problem solved.

    I particularly like how he points out: "It's not that someone tells you what you shall do. You can choose what responsibility you want to take on". That sits extremely well with me, because that's one fundamental aspect for me: I happily do things (even on my own inconvenience etc.) for others, as long as I choose it (because the "joy I cause in someone, compensates me for my small cost/inconvenience/etc."). As soon as there is any "caused by someone else", it's not my "volunteeringly" wanting to do it - BOOM. Concrete wall. Not with me.

    • @ericcopenhaver
      @ericcopenhaver 5 років тому +7

      Not 'numb', @Maxon, ... more like 'wrapped up'.
      You [we] are walled-in, maybe by yourself, but also maybe by your family, past events, a harsh current state of [your] existence.
      You're right: realizing that you are 'all in' in the experience of life should spark a deep emotional 'moment' as you contemplate that existential truth. If it doesn't, or you feel that something is missing from that 'moment', then look at your life. Look to the places that resonate with emotion: what do you care about... who do you care about? Go into those places. Let your mind loose to play and explore those places. Take note of what your see, what you experience.
      In this way, you can 'unwrap' yourself, enlivening the experience of being 'all in'. Best of luck to you! :)

      The part about evolution I never bought is how a bunch of random chemicals dissolved in primordial seawater with occasion random influxes of energy lighting/solar UV somehow made said molecules self-assemble into complex macro-molecules that could spontaneously replicate themselves. Especially when the fossil record seems to indicate that life arose very quickly after the earth's surface cooled enough to allow liquid water on the surface. Bacteria allegedly arose very quickly then stayed more or less the same for billions of years before much complex multicellular life arose in a relatively quick "Cambrian explosion". Apparently it is duck soup to go from random chemicals dissolved in seawater to bacteria (& rather complex organism) but forever and a day to move beyond it (complex multicellular life/us). If I had to guess, in the case of earth some kind of panspermia; for the universe as a whole would have to go with engineered construct/program of some sort. Suggesting of course a programmer; make of that what you will.

And the age dating of rock formations is based on nuclear physics and has nothing to do with presupposed atmospheric conditions.

      I really don't see what there is to reconcile. There is no point in believing irrelevant details in the bible like timelines. It is very evidently not the direct word of God. It is a book that was at best derived from divine teachings that were translated by mortals, and then endlessly altered. If reality is at odds with what is written in the bible, it's morally imperative to acknowledge it, because the bible is not God.

      Clinging to myths like this just devalues the other really good messages of Christianity, like taking responsibility and being a good person all your life.
      As teenagers we walked from religion class to English, Mathematics or Science where we were taught to question assertions which appeared to have no basis in fact until the basis in fact became evident.
      And then back into religion class where we had to swallow this Santa Claus for adults malarkey.

    "The interesting thing about being alive is that you're all in." Taken out of context the quote is glib and uninformative.

That can also exist on the Far Left too of course. What the working class needs are jobs and good health care - not the Republicans stealing their health care provision to hand wealth to the already super rich.

    Japanese society is predicated on the group. The individual finds meaning and self-worth within the group. Morality is predicated on the group, be the group a couple, a family, a community or a nation. It is the agreed upon behaviour, implicit or explicit, between the individual and the group. Social cohesion and harmony is the result.

It has a first rate education system. Japan annually finishes in the top 3 in the world in PISA studies which measure ability in math, science and literacy. I have 5 kids all either in or have been through the public school system here.
